Nature of Business	Mar. 31, 2026
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business Clearway Energy, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company, is a publicly-traded energy infrastructure investor with a focus on investments in clean energy and owner of modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America. The Company is sponsored by Clearway Energy Group LLC, or CEG. The Company is one of the largest owners of clean energy generation assets in the U.S. The Company’s portfolio comprises approximately 13.6 GW of gross capacity in 27 states, including approximately 10.8 GW of wind, solar and battery energy storage systems, or BESS, and approximately 2.8 GW of dispatchable combustion-based power generation assets included in the Flexible Generation segment that provide critical grid reliability services. Through this environmentally-sound, diversified and primarily contracted portfolio, the Company endeavors to provide its investors with stable and growing dividend income. The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from long-term contractual arrangements for the output or capacity from these assets. The Company consolidates the results of Clearway Energy LLC through its controlling interest, with CEG’s interest shown as noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. The holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class C common stock, including shares that were received in the Class A Conversion, are entitled to dividends as declared. CEG receives its distributions from Clearway Energy LLC through its ownership of Clearway Energy LLC Class B and Class D units. From time to time, CEG may also hold shares of the Company’s Class C common stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company owned 58.91% of the economic interests of Clearway Energy LLC, with CEG owning 41.09% of the economic interests of Clearway Energy LLC. The diagram below represents a summarized structure of the Company as of March 31, 2026 (prior to the Class A Conversion): Class A Conversion On April 29, 2026, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Amended Charter, pursuant to which each outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock was converted into one share of the Company’s Class C common stock, effective May 1, 2026, referred to as the Class A Conversion. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any Class A common stock outstanding. Immediately following the Class A Conversion, the Company’s outstanding Class C common stock represented 45.12% of the total voting power of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s outstanding Class B common stock and Class D common stock, collectively, represented 54.88% of the total voting power of the Company’s common stock. See Note 9, Changes in Capital Structure, for further discussion of the Class A Conversion. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s regulations for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain prior period financial information included in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements has been revised to correct immaterial errors. See Note 13, Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Information, for additional information. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amounts of net earnings during the reporting periods. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents held at subsidiary facilities was $233 million and $194 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements and funds held within the Company’s facilities that are restricted in their use. As of March 31, 2026, these restricted funds were comprised of $141 million designated to fund operating expenses, $97 million designated for current debt service payments and $85 million restricted for reserves including debt service, performance obligations and other reserves as well as capital expenditures. The remaining $32 million is held in distribution reserve accounts.

Equity [Abstract]

Changes in Capital Structure

Class A Conversion

On April 29, 2026, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended Charter, pursuant to which each outstanding share of the Company’s Class A common stock was converted into one share of the Company’s Class C common stock, effective May 1, 2026, referred to as the Class A Conversion. As a result of the Class A Conversion, the Company no longer has any Class A common stock.

In connection with the Class A Conversion, on April 29, 2026, CEG entered into a voting trust agreement, or the Voting Trust Agreement, with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the voting trustee thereunder, or the Voting Trustee, pursuant to which CEG deposited into a voting trust 41,678,637 shares of Class B common stock, or the Voting Trust Shares. The Voting Trust Shares were deposited to maintain CEG’s relative voting power in the Company immediately following the Class A Conversion at the level immediately prior thereto. Under the Voting Trust Agreement, the Voting Trustee is required to vote the Voting Trust Shares on any stockholder matter in the same proportion as the votes cast by all Company stockholders.

Immediately following the Class A Conversion and after giving effect to the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement, the Company’s outstanding Class C common stock represented 45.12% of the total voting power of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s outstanding Class B common stock and Class D common stock, collectively, represented 54.88% of the total voting power.

Neither the Amended Charter nor the Class A Conversion affected the economic interests of the Company’s stockholders, including dividend and liquidation rights. Following the Class A Conversion, holders of the Company’s former Class A common stock converted into Class C common stock remain entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Company, on the same basis as prior to the conversion.

Following the Class A Conversion, the Company’s Class A common stock, which previously traded on the NYSE under the symbol “CWEN.A”, was delisted. The Company’s Class C common stock continues to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “CWEN.”

Effective concurrently with the Class A Conversion, each outstanding Class A unit of Clearway Energy LLC was converted into one Class C unit of Clearway Energy LLC.

Direct Stock Purchase Plan, or DSPP

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company maintains a DSPP, pursuant to which it may issue shares of its Class C common stock, including through waiver arrangements.

During January 2026, the Company issued 1,445,244 shares of Class C common stock under the DSPP for gross proceeds of $50 million and incurred fees of less than $1 million, which were exchanged for 1,445,244 Class C units of Clearway Energy LLC. As of March 31, 2026, 1,061,554 shares of Class C common stock remained available for issuance under the DSPP.

Dividends to Class A and Class C Common Stockholders

The following table lists the dividends paid on the Company’s Class A and Class C common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026:


	First Quarter 2026
Dividends per Class A share	$	0.4602
Dividends per Class C share	0.4602

As a result of the Class A Conversion discussed above, the Company no longer has any Class A common stock outstanding, and holders of the Company’s former Class A common stock converted into Class C common stock remain entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Company, on the same basis as prior to the conversion.

Dividends on the Class C common stock are subject to available capital, market conditions and compliance with associated laws, regulations and other contractual obligations. The Company expects that, based on current circumstances, comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the foreseeable future.

On May 6, 2026, the Company declared quarterly dividends on its Class C common stock, including shares that were received in the Class A Conversion, of $0.4676 per share payable on June 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of June 1, 2026.

Distributions to CEG

The following table lists distributions paid to CEG during the three months ended March 31, 2026 on Clearway Energy LLC’s Class B and D units:


	First Quarter 2026
Distributions per Class B Unit	$	0.4602
Distributions per Class D Unit	0.4602

On May 6, 2026, Clearway Energy LLC declared a distribution on its Class B and Class D units of $0.4676 per unit payable on June 15, 2026 to unit holders of record as of June 1, 2026.

Loss Per Share

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2026

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issued during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic loss per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The reconciliation of the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share is shown in the following tables, including revisions to previously reported amounts:



	Three months ended March 31, 2026
(In millions, except per share data) (a)	Common Class A		Common Class C
Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to Clearway Energy, Inc. common stockholders

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

The income tax provision consisted of the following amounts:


	Three months ended March 31,
			2026			2025
		(In millions, except percentages)
Loss before income taxes			$	(70)		$	(104)
Income tax benefit			(2)			—
Effective income tax rate			2.9		%	(0.3)		%

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the allocation of taxable earnings and losses based on the partners’ interest in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying the HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain partnerships.

For tax purposes, Clearway Energy LLC is treated as a partnership; therefore, the Company and CEG each record their respective share of taxable income or loss.

Tax Credits

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received $282 million from the transfer of PTCs and ITCs, of which $279 million related to the Pine Forest facility and was primarily used to repay the $231 million outstanding on the tax credit transfer bridge loan as further described in Note 7, Long-term Debt.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2026
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s regulations for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Information	ertain prior period financial information included in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements has been revised to correct immaterial errors. See Note 13, Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Information, for additional information. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amounts of net earnings during the reporting periods. Actual results could be different from these estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase.Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements and funds held within the Company’s facilities that are restricted in their use.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendment clarifies when software costs should be capitalized and requires certain disclosures for all capitalized internal-use software costs. The Company adopted ASU 2025-06 prospectively and the adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract. The amendment expands the derivative scope exceptions and clarifies when an entity should apply the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to contracts with share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The Company adopted ASU 2025-07 prospectively, and the adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk In addition to the credit risk discussion as disclosed under Item 15 — Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, the following item is a discussion of the concentration of credit risk for the Company’s financial instruments. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; (ii) monitoring of counterparties’ credit limits on an as needed basis; (iii) as applicable, the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, prepayment arrangements, or volumetric limits; (iv) the use of payment netting agreements; and (v) the use of master netting agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures of various contracts associated with a single counterparty. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Company seeks to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties. Counterparty credit exposure includes credit risk exposure under certain long-term agreements, including solar and other PPAs. As external sources or observable market quotes are not available to estimate such exposure, the Company estimates the exposure related to these contracts based on various techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of observable market data with similar characteristics. A significant portion of these energy-related commodity contracts are with utilities with strong credit quality and public utility commission or other regulatory support. However, such regulated utility counterparties can be impacted by changes in government regulations or adverse financial conditions, which the Company is unable to predict. Certain subsidiaries of the Company sell the output of their facilities to PG&E, a significant counterparty of the Company, under long-term PPAs, and PG&E’s credit rating is below investment-grade.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities

Entities that are not Consolidated

The Company has interests in entities that are considered VIEs under ASC 810, but for which it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for its interests in these entities and entities in which it has a significant investment under the equity method of accounting, as further described under Item 15 — Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

The following table reflects the Company’s equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2026:


Name	Economic Interest	Investment Balance (a)
		(In millions)
Avenal	50%	$	12
Cardinal Portfolio JV (b)	50%	80
Desert Sunlight	25%	208
Elkhorn Ridge	66.7%	(5)
GenConn (c)	50%	70
San Juan Mesa	75%	(3)

		$	362

(a) The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment balances.

(b) Acquired on March 30, 2026. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for further discussion.

The Company’s pro-rata share of non-recourse debt held by unconsolidated affiliates was $367 million as of March 31, 2026.

Entities that are Consolidated

As further described under Item 15 — Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, the Company has a controlling financial interest in certain entities which have been identified as VIEs under ASC 810, Consolidation, or ASC 810. These arrangements are primarily related to tax equity arrangements entered into with third parties in order to monetize certain tax credits associated with wind, solar and BESS facilities. The Company also has a controlling financial interest in certain partnership arrangements with third-party investors, which also have been identified as VIEs. Under the Company’s arrangements that have been identified as VIEs, the third-party investors are allocated earnings, tax attributes and distributable cash in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. Many of these arrangements also provide a mechanism to facilitate achievement of the investor’s specified return by providing incremental cash distributions to the investor at a specified date if the specified return has not yet been achieved.

The following is a summary of significant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026 related to the Company’s consolidated VIEs:

Palisade Plains Partnership — On February 19, 2026, Clearway Renew contributed its rights and interests in certain transformer supply agreements to Palisade Plains Development Partnership LLC, or Palisade Plains Partnership, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for Class A membership interests. In connection with the transaction, Clearway Renew contributed $6 million for deposits related to the future delivery of equipment, which is included in other non-current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and received a distribution of $5 million. The Class A membership interests held by Clearway Renew are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, as the arrangement provides Clearway Renew with the right to redeem their interests in the partnership for cash or other assets at a point in time. Palisade Plains Partnership is a VIE that indirectly owns the Goat Mountain wind facility and whose purpose is to carry out the development, construction and completion of the repowering of the facility. Palisade Plains Development Partnership Holdco LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, consolidates Palisade Plains Partnership as primary beneficiary through its Class B membership interests, which entitles the Company to 99% of distributable cash.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s consolidated VIEs consisted of the following:


(In millions)	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Other current assets	$	324	$	484

Facility-level Debt

Honeycomb Portfolio

On May 1, 2026, when the Honeycomb Portfolio BESS facilities reached substantial completion, the Company paid $81 million to Clearway Renew as additional purchase price in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Honeycomb TargetCo LLC, or Honeycomb TargetCo, from Clearway Renew on October 15, 2025, which was funded with existing sources of liquidity. The Company’s total capital investment in Honeycomb TargetCo was $97 million. Also, on May 1, 2026, the tax equity investor in Honeycomb TE Holdco LLC contributed an additional $254 million, which was utilized along with the $60 million previously held in escrow, to repay the $234 million tax equity bridge loan and to pay $14 million in associated fees with the remaining $67 million distributed to CEG. During 2026, the Company borrowed an additional $71 million in construction loans, and on May 1, 2026, the total outstanding construction loans were converted to a term loan in the amount of $327 million that matures on May 1, 2031.

Cardinal Portfolio

On February 5, 2026, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, Cardinal Investment Holdco LLC, entered into a financing arrangement that provides for a term loan of up to $100 million and $119 million in letters of credit in support of debt service and facility-level obligations. On March 30, 2026, the Company borrowed $100 million to partially fund the acquisition of the Cardinal Portfolio, as further described in Note 3, Acquisitions. The financing is supported by the Company’s interest in the Cardinal Portfolio. The term loan bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 2.00% per annum and matures on March 29, 2027.

In connection with the acquisition of the Cardinal Portfolio on March 30, 2026, as further described in Note 3, Acquisitions, the Company assumed existing facility‑level debt associated with certain of the acquired facilities. The assumed debt is secured by the respective facilities and is non‑recourse to the Company. In accordance with ASC 805, the assumed debt was recorded at its estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. The assumed facility‑level debt has maturities ranging from 2032 through 2036.

Mesquite Sky Restructuring

On March 27, 2026, the Company restructured its existing energy‑related commodity contract associated with the Mesquite Sky wind facility, which resulted in an in‑substance financing to settle existing derivative liabilities over time. As a result of the restructuring, the Company derecognized derivative liabilities with a fair value of $115 million, as well as $12 million owed to the counterparty that was previously included in other non‑current liabilities, and recognized a term financing obligation with an initial carrying amount of $127 million. The financing obligation is repaid through fixed monthly payments beginning in May 2026 and matures on September 30, 2035. Total payments over the term of the arrangement are $162 million, which implies an effective interest rate of approximately 5.436%. Interest expense is recognized over the term of the obligation using the effective interest method.

In connection with the restructuring, the Company also entered into a 15‑year PPA with an investment‑grade counterparty, which replaces the volumetric and price exposure of Mesquite Sky’s energy‑related commodity contract with more favorable pricing.

Goat Mountain Repowering

On February 27, 2026, the Company, through its indirect subsidiaries, Goat Mountain Class B Holdco LLC and Goat Wind LLC, as co-borrowers, entered into a financing arrangement for non-recourse debt for a total commitment of $703 million, which consists of a construction loan that converts to a five-year term loan upon the repowering of the facility reaching substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2027, as well as bridge loans to be repaid with the proceeds from the tax equity investor. The construction loan and bridge loans bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.50% and mature on the term conversion date. The Company’s initial borrowing of $140 million was utilized to pay $88 million under the development services agreement, as further described in Note 12, Related Party Transactions, $15 million in debt issuance costs that were deferred and $5 million in capital expenditures. Under the financing arrangement, the Company borrowed $151 million through March 31, 2026.

Pine Forest

On January 15, 2026, the Company repaid the $231 million outstanding on the tax credit transfer bridge loan utilizing the proceeds received from the sale of transferable ITCs, as further described in Note 11, Income Taxes, and distributed the remaining $51 million to CEG.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Accounting under ASC 820

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

•Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

•Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable — trade, accounts receivable — affiliates, accounts payable — trade, accounts payable — affiliates and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s recorded financial instrument not carried at fair market value or that does not approximate fair value is as follows:


	As of March 31, 2026				As of December 31, 2025
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(In millions)




Long-term debt, including current portion (a)	$	9,205	$	8,872	$	8,676	$	8,382

(a) Excludes net debt issuance costs, which are recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the Company’s publicly-traded long-term debt is based on quoted market prices and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt securities, non-publicly traded long-term debt and certain notes receivable of the Company are based on expected future cash flows discounted at market interest rates, or current interest rates for similar instruments with equivalent credit quality and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the level within the fair value hierarchy for long-term debt, including current portion:


	As of March 31, 2026				As of December 31, 2025
	Level 2		Level 3		Level 2		Level 3

(a) There were no derivative assets or liabilities classified as Level 1 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

(b) The Company’s interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using an income approach, which uses readily observable inputs, such as forward interest rates (e.g., SOFR) and contractual terms to estimate fair value.

(c) Includes short-term backbone transportation service contracts classified as Level 2 and heat rate call option contracts classified as Level 3.

(d) Includes SREC contract.

(e) Includes long-term power commodity contracts and heat rate call option contracts classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $178 million and $330 million, respectively, related to long-term power commodity contracts, and $4 million and $3 million, respectively, related to heat rate call option contracts.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances for instruments that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements using significant unobservable inputs:


	Three months ended March 31,

(a) On March 27, 2026, the Company restructured the Mesquite Sky energy-related commodity contract, resulting in the derecognition of the related derivative liabilities and its classification as an in-substance financing. See Note 7, Long-term Debt, for further discussion.

Derivative and Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements

The Company's contracts are non-exchange-traded and valued using prices provided by external sources. The Company uses quoted observable forward prices to value its energy-related commodity contracts, which includes long-term power commodity contracts and heat rate call option contracts. To the extent that observable forward prices are not available, the quoted prices reflect the average of the forward prices from the prior year, adjusted for inflation. As of March 31, 2026, contracts valued with prices provided by models and other valuation techniques make up 4% of derivative assets, 90% of derivative liabilities and 100% of other financial instruments.

The Company’s significant positions classified as Level 3 relate to physical and financial energy-related contracts, including long-term power commodity contracts and heat rate call option contracts executed in illiquid markets. The significant unobservable inputs used in developing fair value include illiquid power tenors and location pricing, which is derived by extrapolating pricing as a basis to liquid locations. The tenor pricing and basis spread are based on observable market data when available or derived from historic prices and forward market prices from similar observable markets when not available.

The following table quantifies the significant unobservable inputs used in developing the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 positions:


	March 31, 2026
	Fair Value						Input/Range
	Assets		Liabilities		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Low		High		Weighted Average
	(In millions)
Long-term Power Commodity Contracts	$	—	$	178	Discounted Cash Flow	Forward Market Price ($ per MWh)	$	24.87	$	93.56	$	51.11

The fair value of each contract is discounted using a risk-free interest rate. In addition, a credit reserve is applied to reflect credit risk, which is, for interest rate swaps, calculated based on credit default swaps using the bilateral method. For commodities, to the extent that the Net Exposure under a specific master agreement is an asset, the Company uses the counterparty’s default swap rate. If the Net Exposure under a specific master agreement is a liability, the Company uses a proxy of its own default swap rate. For interest rate swaps and commodities, the credit reserve is added to the discounted fair value to reflect the exit price that a market participant would be willing to receive to assume the liabilities or that a market participant would be willing to pay for the assets. As of March 31, 2026, the non-performance reserve was a $7 million gain recorded primarily to total operating revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. It is possible that future market prices could vary from those used in recording assets and liabilities and such variations could be material.

Concentration of Credit Risk

In addition to the credit risk discussion as disclosed under Item 15 — Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, the following item is a discussion of the concentration of credit risk for the Company’s financial instruments. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; (ii) monitoring of counterparties’ credit limits on an as needed basis; (iii) as applicable, the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, prepayment arrangements, or volumetric limits; (iv) the use of payment netting agreements; and (v) the use of master netting agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures of various contracts associated with a single counterparty. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Company seeks to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties.

Counterparty credit exposure includes credit risk exposure under certain long-term agreements, including solar and other PPAs. As external sources or observable market quotes are not available to estimate such exposure, the Company estimates the exposure related to these contracts based on various techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of observable market data with similar characteristics. A significant portion of these energy-related commodity contracts are with utilities with strong credit quality and public utility commission or other regulatory support. However, such regulated utility counterparties can be impacted by changes in government regulations or adverse financial conditions, which the Company is unable to predict. Certain subsidiaries of the Company sell the output of their facilities to PG&E, a significant counterparty of the Company, under long-term PPAs, and PG&E’s credit rating is below investment-grade.

Acquisitions

Cardinal Portfolio Acquisition — On March 30, 2026, the Company, through its indirect subsidiaries, Cardinal Purchaser LLC and Cardinal JV Purchaser LLC, completed the acquisition of the Cardinal Portfolio, a 610 MW portfolio of operational solar facilities located in eight states, for total cash consideration of $324 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. Of the total consideration, $244 million related to facilities consolidated by the Company and $80 million related to facilities held through a joint venture with a third-party investor. The joint venture includes 12 facilities located in the western U.S., comprising 225 MW. The Company’s investment in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method, as further described in Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities. The Cardinal Portfolio has a weighted average remaining contract duration of approximately 10 years. The Cardinal Portfolio is reflected in the Renewables & Storage segment and the acquisition was funded with $100 million in borrowings under the new financing arrangement entered into in connection with the acquisition, as further described in Note 7, Long-term Debt, as well as existing sources of liquidity. After factoring in cash acquired, transaction expenses and proceeds from the related financing activities, the Company estimates that its net capital investment in the Cardinal Portfolio will be approximately $240 million.

The Company accounted for the consolidated group of facilities acquired by Cardinal Purchaser LLC as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805. The following table presents the preliminary fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Cardinal Purchaser LLC as of the acquisition date:


(In millions)	Cardinal Portfolio (a)
Cash	$	1
Restricted cash	15
Property, plant and equipment	315
Intangible assets for power purchase agreements	129
Right-of-use assets	62
Derivative assets	6
Other current and non-current assets	24
Total assets acquired	552

Long-term debt (b)	180
Long-term lease liabilities	39

Other current liabilities	3
Other non-current liabilities	84
Total liabilities assumed	306
Noncontrolling interest (c)	2
Net assets acquired	$	244

(a) Excludes the equity method investment held by Cardinal JV Purchaser LLC.

(b) See Note 7, Long-term Debt, for additional information regarding the assumed facility-level debt.

(c) Represents a tax equity fund, Shoreham Energy Holdings, LLC, which the Company consolidates as primary beneficiary. The Class A membership interests in Shoreham Energy Holdings, LLC are held by a tax equity investor.

In accordance with ASC 805, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined primarily based on the income approach using discounted cash flows. This methodology was utilized as the forecasted cash flows incorporate specific attributes including age, useful life, equipment condition and technology. The fair value of intangible assets and liabilities for power purchase agreements was determined utilizing a variation of the income approach determined by discounting the replacement market price of the incremental cash flows associated with the contracts to present value. Intangible liabilities for power purchase agreements are included in other non-current liabilities. Primary assumptions utilized included estimates of generation, contractual prices, operating expenses and the weighted average cost of capital reflective of a market participant. These assumptions are considered to be a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, as they utilize inputs that are not observable in the market. Long-term debt assumed as part of the acquisition was recorded at its estimated fair value as of the acquisition date.

The Company is in the process of completing the fair value measurement of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and noncontrolling interests, and accordingly the amounts above are preliminary. The Company expects to finalize the fair value estimates within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Quarterly Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract]

Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Information

As discussed in Item 15 — Note 18, Revision of Previously Issued Unaudited Financial Information (Unaudited), during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s management identified errors related to certain calculations of hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) accounting used to allocate net income (loss) to the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests in tax equity partnerships in each of the quarters ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The Company evaluated the materiality of the errors in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and No. 108 of the SEC and concluded that the errors were immaterial to all previously reported periods and did not require restatement of any previously issued financial statements.
